6. Using Pickup Lines

Sorry, guys, but everything you've learned about using pickup lines to start a conversation with women is dead wrong. There is nothing cheesier, less interesting or more of a turnoff than a guy who uses a standard opening line. Why? It shows he lacks confidence, period. It shows he's literally spent time reading up on the best way to approach a woman (a fact which should never be admitted) and that he needs other guys to tell him what to say and how to act. Whatever you do, a simple hello is better than a canned line.
